Serena's creations are inspired by a very specific interest within European fashion of the past. It is the exaggerations and excesses alongside a total disregard for rational considerations that intrigues her.

Each accessory is presented within a glass or wooden case and accompanied by a descriptive label. "My aim is to suggest that these items have become museum accessions, I see them as three dimensional caricatures that illustrate the extravagances of centuries past."
